Great, thanks for fixing!

I don't know how many people worked yesterday on issues with a site, it looks like someone have updated WP and all the plugins, I've removed W3TC entries from .htaccess and have temporary disabled widgets with twittr and feeds which were throwing errors, after someone updated plugins i could enable them back. Not sure what else have happened. I guess we could discuss at some point what workflow you use for fixing issues and documenting them. I guess using trac?... Also we could try to stay more present on IRC, i keep my irssi running on a server and than just use /away once i disconnect from it.

I wouldn't try to make this decision before we all play a little with using BP forums. We can as well try to investigate this further so we can have best of both worlds: https://andrewsinlondon.wordpress.com/ I know that Ellg and Drupal already have such functionality, more people may like to get it working for BuddyPress (bbPress)...

After removing forcing ip to one above it got back site saying Howdy, Jason, Daniel Nils etc.

Can someone who have set it up take a closer look at it (we can meet on irc if i come of any help) and later document configuration and fixed issues on Trac? I've crated account on trac.okfn.org but looks like someone needs to give me permissions if i want to crate ticket for that myself...
